How to open new folder but keep the existing one open?

How to open new folder but keep the existing one open?

Now in my third week with Windows 10 after 15 years using XP. After much googling and several posts in various newgroups and forums I still have no answer to the subject question.

In XP, if you wanted to open a new folder (e.g. move up to the next one in the tree) you simply held either the shift or control key while clicking the appropriate link, or up arrow. I can't believe such a frequently used task can no longer be perfomed?

(I know about the different feature, Open in new window.)

Windows 7 allows one to open any new folder in its own window; similar to setting browser to open a new web page in a separate browser window [and not as a tab in the same browser window]. I don't know how to do that in Windows 10.
